Why is caddy an out if he’s not even listed as an emergency for afl side?

Was he injured in training?

God damn that's a handy VFL team!

Don't want him to catch Collingwood germs  .


Perhaps they want to protect his body for the following week given the forecast of a wet slog? Difficult to trial him in a new role in those conditions?

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Could he be the 23td man?

[Tiger Khosh]

Could he be the 23td man?

Not if he’s not listed as an emergency.

[Gracie]

God damn that's a handy VFL team!

Like to see how that team would go against The Suns
